The Washington Redskins will offer veteran defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson a chance to recoup his lost income through incentive clauses if Wilkinson agrees to the pay cut the team wants him to accept, NFL sources said yesterday.
Wilkinson's status remained unclear while the Redskins picked up the pace of contract negotiations with their three draft choices. The team was close to completing a deal with its seventh-round selection, quarterback Gibran Hamdan, and was making progress toward signing second-round wide receiver Taylor Jacobs and third-round guard Derrick Dockery by the end of the week, sources said. The club is scheduled to report to training camp on Sunday at Redskins Park.
